All For the Love of Fall- A Front Porch Adorned

After living in South Africa for 9 years (where there are two seasons: HOT and Brrrr) I have a new found appreciation for all four seasons. And here in the Pacific Northwest we get a good taste of all of them.

But when autumn hits, there is something inside me that fires up. Maybe it’s the sensory stimulation I get. Who can’t love the brilliant colors, the crunch-crunch of leaves and that wonderful fresh fall air?

My creative juices get flowing.
And it doesn’t take much to add a little bit of seasonal flair to a space.

This year I have paired a hand painted sign I made last year with an antique water pump and crate on my front porch.

A couple rustic wreaths….

(Isn’t this one amazing? A sweet friend makes these for sale! If you are interested in buying one, leave a comment and I will contact you)

This is gorgeous! I absolutely love this style, and that Welcome sign is perfect. I might need to steal that… And I feel the same way about the season. There’s just something about fall that always makes me feel so energized and excited, and it’s such a fun season to decorate for too.
